What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, if a school board adopts a resolution to issue a bond or a promissory note, the school district clerk must publish or post a notice except in certain specified situations. The notice must state the maximum amount proposed to be borrowed, the purpose of the borrowing, and the place where and the hours during which the resolution may be inspected. If a school district applies for a state trust fund loan, the notice must state the amount of the proposed loan and the purpose for which it will be used.
This bill requires the above notices to also include the estimated amount of interest costs, the estimated amount of other costs associated with issuing the bond or promissory note or obtaining the loan, and the assumptions made with regard to estimating interest and other costs.
